Fond memories too, my second significantly used home computer (mainframes and midrange at work) (first was Trs80 m1, many others that I did almost nothing with)
Mine was the first pc/xt clone I found for under $1000. Eventually grew to 3.5" A: disk and two double sided 80 track 5.25 disks for B: and C: (stolen from the trs-80 m1) The a: was operating system and most tools, a few specialized alternates for making greeting cards or something. The b: and c: were my "raid" array...everything I wrote to B was also written to C. still have that in storage, as well as several original pcs when they were tossed out at work. <pre>--Carey</pre> > On 03/09/2024 8:11 AM CST Murray McCullough via cctalk > <cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > > > I look back fondly on the IBM PC-XT of 41 years ago.
